Justification:
Listed as Least Concern since, although its extent of occurrence is around 2,000 km², populations are stable with little current threat, and it is unlikely to be declining fast enough to qualify for listing in a more threatened category.

The species has been recorded from the El Triunfo Biosphere Reserve; this is considered to be a well managed protected area. Further studies are needed into the distribution, abundance and ecology of this species.
